"Hereby you are notified that you have been scheduled to appear for your hearing that will take place in the court of (bogus location, date and time). Please bring all documents and witnesses relating to this case with you to court on your hearing date.

"The copy of the court notice is attached to this letter. Please read it thoroughly. Note: If you do not attend the hearing, the judge may hear the case in your absence.

"Yours truly, (bogus name), Clerk to the Court."

This is a hoax, because Pennsylvania courts do not email court orders to people, according to the AOPC.

Anyone receiving an email with the subject line "Hearing of your case in court" or "Notice to appear in court" should not open any attachments, click on any links or unsubscribe, since doing any of these may let a malware/virus infect their computers, the AOPC warns.

Recipients should immediately delete such emails.

Recipients uncertain about the authenticity of emails notifying them to appear in court should contact their respective county court administrative offices. The Monroe County Court Administrative Office's number is 570-517-3009, ext. 6, option 2.
